摘要
A Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor was used to measure thermal lensing in diode-end-pumped Yb-doped GdCOB, YCOB, YSO, YAG, and KGW crystals, under lasing or nonlasing conditions. Measured thermal lenses are aberration-free, and their focal lengths under lasing action range from 40 to 140 mm for 5 W of absorbed power. When laser action was inhibited the thermal lens dioptric power was increased significantly in most crystals, supplying evidence that nonradiative mechanisms exist. Reduction of thermal effects in a composite YCOB crystal is also investigated, as well as the dependence of thermal lensing on the emission wavelength in YSO. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
